Stars -- Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you're seized by an irrational jealousy or craving, instead of wanting what you don't have, celebrate what you've got. Entertain the thought that you're in a place that other people just might find enviable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You might think someone has put you through hoops to get to a place of understanding, but they think the same of you. The prize is real, and you can claim that, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don't intend to give someone mixed signals, it just kind of happens - and you've been here before. Explore this. If you can't recall the place you've been, it's hard to know where you're headed.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you think happiness is basking in the aftermath of giving someone what they need, imagine doing it in larger numbers. Filling a mutual need invigorates you and raises the bar for things to come.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your worth isn't manufactured. It's real and recognizable by others. You see the external reasons why they like you, but it's no substitute for how you feel about you. Appreciate something about "you" that no one else knows about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A well-rounded life is filled with delights and wonders. Why is that so easy to forget? Instead of getting caught up in another mundane drama, choose intrigue and awe.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You identify with your values. Who doesn't, right? They keep you sane and safe in this crazy world, but some days you've got to let something deeper in, something that might scare, mystify and completely change you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're sympathetic to those you care about; you feel what they're feeling and enjoy getting pulled in their direction. Being so tuned in is a gift that also helps you know when you should let them go their own way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Instead of focusing on the thing in yourself you think you can't change, allow your natural gifts to guide you. Those gifts are far more reliable (and useful) companions than what you think you should or could be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your industriousness is exemplary. You're able to transform something from simple to fabulous in less than five minutes. Oh, look! You're impressing people without even trying.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your identity issues come to the forefront. You're a manifestation of your beliefs, your personal history, past choices and ancestry. But most of all, you're who you think you are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It's easy for you to share what you believe in, but you're intuitive, so it's harder to back everything up with facts and figures. Even though no one's challenging you, go look a fact up instead of letting a doubt linger.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 3). You shatter the illusions that held you, and create visions to drive you forward. New people like your style in June. There are fantastic bits of financial luck sprinkled through the summer. Your work gets harder in September, but it takes you to the next financial rung. October offers a great escape. Libra and Pisces people are winning members of Team You. Lucky numbers are: 7, 3, 25, 21 and 56.
